If you are looking for a good first board then look no further than the DH2.6 Wide Snowboard. This is a board that is built for speed and power. A well-made Full Wood Core offers superior impact resistance and vibration deterrence. The board is smooth and stable enough to lock on rails or reach top speeds on good slopes. The DH2.6 uses a standard 4x4 mounting pattern for bindings and offers medium flex for forgiveness on rough landings.
